Revisiting Star Trek Into Darkness: Alex vs. Patrick

Alex just saw Star Trek Into Darkness for the first time and loved it. Patrick still doesn't like it. Now they get to argue about it.

F This Movie! - F This Summer (2013)

Patrick, Doug and JB try to be positive about Summer 2013. They try.

F This Movie! - The World's End

Patrick, JB and Adam Riske are the Five Musketeers.

Riske Business: The Summer Movie Stock Market

Who had a good summer at the movies? Who hit the skids? What trends are on the rise? Which are sucking wind? I sat down with Jaden Smith and, using multidimensional mathematics, we found the special equation to get our summer movie answers. It was tough. We had to develop a whole new set of mathematics to get to these equations because our mathematics hasn’t evolved enough yet. Anyways, it was a really fun sleepover party. Brody Jenner was there. Bai Ling. Cash bar! Patterns, boom.

Review: You're Next

by Patrick Bromley

Stop looking for the next great horror movie. Here it is.

F This Movie! - Kick-Ass 2

Patrick and Doug kick the ass of Kick-Ass 2.

Review: Elysium (Alex's Take)

I’m glad movies like Elysium exist. In a lot of ways, writer-director Neill Blomkamp’s second feature crystallizes a concept that is at once plainly obvious and yet always in need of more analytical thought: Making a good movie is god damn hard, man.

Review: The Conjuring

by Adam Riske

I had a great time watching The Conjuring, and I’d recommend it to anyone, even if they don’t usually like horror movies. It’s such a fun movie-going experience.

In which Mike and Adam hit the convention floor and the convention floor hits back.

Mike and Adam's SDCC Diary (Day 1)

Mike and Adam Thas have died and gone to geek heaven. May they rest in peace.

F This Movie! - Pacific Rim

Patrick and JB are canceling the apocalypse.

Riske Business: The Lone Ranger is Vastly Underrated

I’m using this week’s Riske Business to stick up for The Lone Ranger. It’s not the disaster that the media is presenting it to be. In fact, I think The Lone Ranger is the most subversive and daring big-budget studio movie since Sucker Punch.

Review: White House Down

by Patrick Bromley

I'm not sure I have the words.

Review: The Bling Ring (Adam Riske's Take)

by Adam Riske

The Bling Ring is a terrific movie and well worth seeking out. It has big ideas and something worthwhile to say about “the worst generation.” There is a lot of blame to go around – parents, dime-store philosophies, reality television, TMZ and other gossip rags, etc. The brilliance of The Bling Ring is that it’s done in a way that’s very funny and entertaining. It’s not at all heavy-handed. You’re in the thieves' shoes. You get the big party.

Review: Monsters University

by Adam Riske

I doubt I’ll remember anything about Monsters University at summer’s end. However, it’s an entertaining and charming movie in the moment. Cute is the right word to describe it.

F This Movie! - Man of Steel

Patrick and Mark Ahn kneel before Zod.

Review: This is the End

This is the End is one of the year's most experimental Hollywood films and one of the summer's best surprises. What could have been an obnoxiously indulgent inside joke or a paid hangout for the stars (think Couples Retreat) is instead an ambitious and ultimately sincere comedy that celebrates a whole bunch of things, including the chance to make a $30 million movie with all your friends.
